A stained glass wind chime is a fun and easy project for beginner
hobbyists. As a bonus, you can also use scrap pieces of glass,
so you’ll incur very little expense while making a great piece.
If you don’t have any scraps, kits start at less than $15.
You can buy kits online from hundreds of supply stores, and at craft
retailers like Ben Franklin, Michael’s Arts and Crafts, and from
your local supply store.

 Suncatchers are one of the most popular stained glass projects,
especially for beginners. You can work from a pattern, cutting
and assembling your own suncatcher, or you can buy a complete kit for
under $20. Suncatchers are extremely popular: you can buy
kits from craft retailers like Michael’s Arts and Crafts, Ben
Franklin, and in many cases from mass-market retailers like Wal-Mart,
K-Mart, and Target. You’ll find a wide variety of kits at
stained glass shops.

After window, “lampshade” is the next word that comes to mind
when stained glass is mentioned. Decorative windows were
permanently installed in residences, became passive items — taken
for granted — and remained when the property was sold. By
contrast, stained glass lighting was the only portable form of
stained glass. Dining room lamps and table lamps were often
handed down through the family or sold as tastes changed and
generations passed.
